Just looking for other answers to this.

How do you know that you know anything? How do you know you can rely on your senses? (As in: I know the rock exists because I can see the rock. How do you know you can see it?)

If knowledge is reliant upon our senses and reasoning (which it is), and we can’t know for sure that our senses are reasoning are valid, then how can we know anything?

So is all knowledge based on faith?

If all knowledge is based on faith, then is science reliable?

If all knowledge is based on faith, then what about ACTUAL faith? Why is it so illogical?

Solipsism vs Nihilism

Solipsism claims that we know our own mind exists, where Nihilism claims we don’t know that anything exists.

Your thoughts?

    Solipsism is not disprovable.

    It also isn’t a framework under which you can do any interesting and widely relevant philosophical thinking, so even if it is the case, proceeding like it’s not seems the best strategy unless you just want to sit in a dreamworld alone until it ceases.
